Scientific Network PhiMSAMP

The DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft = German Research Foundation) decided to fund the 'Scientific Network' PhiMSAMP (Philosophy of Mathematics: Sociological Aspects and Mathematical Practice) coordinated by Thomas Müller (Bonn) and Benedikt Löwe.
The Network consists of six nodes, Amsterdam, Bonn, Brussels, Darmstadt, Dortmund, and Fort Wayne IN, and will fund workshops and meetings on applying sociological and empirical methods to questions of philosophy of mathematics.

The first such workshop will be held in conjunction with the congress GAP.6 in Berlin, Sep 14-16, on the topic of "Towards a new epistemology of mathematics".
